Re: 637: Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Sonic 3 & Knuckles has forever been my favourite game of all time. The levels are vibrant, large and well designed, the music joyously excels in its composition and elevates the game, and the gameplay loop here is at its most refined and satisfying. Above all, it's the vibe of Sonic 3 that I ado...

Re: 584: Sonic CD
I had started and given up on Sonic CD multiple times over the past 20 years, finding it's level design confusing and tedious. It was only this year that I finally saw it through to the end due to its inclusion in Sonic Origins. Incidentally, I then handed the controller to my 3 year old son who cle...

Re: 547: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
This was one of those games that immediately took flight for me. I was completely caught up in the characters and the story, the beautiful Christmas aesthetic of the city with its gorgeous low-sun Winter lighting, and the excellent soundtrack. Playing as Miles brought with it the thrill of youthful ...

Re: Our next podcast recording (15.1.22): The Traveller's Tales/TT Games LEGO series
I'd like to single out Lego Jurassic World as a particular highlight of TT's Lego games. As a massive fan of the original films and novels, I think TT delivered not just their best Lego game, but also the best Jurassic Park game. The established formula has never better suited its chosen IP with all...

Re: Our next console special podcast recording (6.2.22): SEGA Saturn
If I could choose one console to play forever it would be my beloved Sega Saturn. I didn't grow up with a Mega Drive or a SNES. My childhood gaming was exclusively on Gameboy but nevertheless I was obsessed with Sonic the Hedgehog and when my parents offered to buy me a console as a birthday present...

Re: 491 - Tomb Raider (1996)
Tomb Raider was the highlight of my Christmas as an 11 year old when I got it for my Saturn. Over the next year or so I made slow progress but it felt earned. This is still quite a difficult, obtuse game to play but its laborious mechanics made me feel more like an explorer struggling with an ancien...

Re: 473 - Sonic the Hedgehog
Shout out to the Saturn port of Sonic the Hedgehog which ran natively on the 32 bit hardware (not emulation) and came as part of the lovely Sonic Jam compilation along with Sonic 2,3 and Knuckles (and the prototype 3D Sonic World) . It fixed the speed of the game, restoring the PAL version to full 6...

Re: 477 - SEGA Rally Championship 1995
No racing game has ever felt as good to play in my opinion as Sega Rally Championship. The perfect drifting, the sense of speed, and that absolutely BANGING soundtrack. This was constantly in my Saturn. Yes there were only 3 cars and and tracks but this was Sega on peak blue-sky form and gameplay he...

Re: 475 - Quake
How on earth did this run on the Saturn? I remember saving up for Quake and paying for it in mostly small change (which had to be handed over to the cashier by my best friend's dad who had been summoned from the car to pay for it as I wasn't yet 15). It was worth it. I sat there as an 11 year old ju...

Re: Our next podcast recording (23.1.21): 453 - Duke Nukem 3D
In 1998 I was 11 and one of the few people I knew who owned a Sega Saturn. Game releases were drying up by then for the Saturn and my Dad brought me to Curry's to see what selection they had to offer. I desperately wanted to get Sega Worldwide Soccer 98 but my Dad, seeing the £45 price tag, suggeste...
